FOCUS 2

Summary

Overview of the FOCUS 2 career planning system, who must complete it, and how to log in

Overview

FOCUS 2 is a career and educational planning system, which is available online and can be completed at your own pace. It can help you with exploring careers, selecting a major, and planning your education. FOCUS 2 is available to all curriculum students, as well as faculty and staff.

Logging in to FOCUS 2

You can learn about FOCUS 2, access your workbook, and log in to FOCUS 2 on our website at abtech.edu/focus2.

The following steps must be completed before students are able to log in to FOCUS 2:

Apply to A-B Tech as a curriculum student. Please note that dual-enrolled and Middle College students are not eligible to access FOCUS 2 at this time.

Complete placement test(s) and/or submit official transcripts from your previous school(s). Placement test scores or transfer credits for college-level math and English must be posted on your A-B Tech student record (which you can view in your WebAdvisor account) . If you need to take any developmental math or English classes (DMAs and DREs), these courses must be completed before you will be able to log in to FOCUS 2.

Your username will be your full A-B Tech student email address, including the "@students.abtech.edu" portion. Your password will be your A-B Tech student ID number. If your ID number begins with "0" or "00," leave out the leading zeros when entering your ID number as your FOCUS 2 password (for example, "0012345" should be entered as "12345").

Login Difficulties

Please be aware that it can take several days for the FOCUS 2 system to update after you have completed the above steps, so you may not be able to log in to FOCUS 2 right away. If you continue to have trouble logging in, email careerservices@abtech.edu for assistance.

Selective Allied Health Applicants

If you are interested in applying for a Selective Allied Health program, you must complete FOCUS 2 before meeting with an academic advisor. This is a required step in the application process. Although the average time for completing the entire assessment is only 45 minutes, modules can be completed one at a time, and FOCUS 2 will save all results.

G.O.T. Students

All other G.O.T. (General Occupational Technology) students must complete FOCUS 2 and attend a group session before registration for the next semester. Group sessions will be posted online.
